  • yes but actually no. There’s a hidden pull cord under the bottom mat of the “map pocket” that you have to remove, along with whatever else you were storing in there at the time. That’s assuming the cord hasn’t fallen out of reach inside the door or otherwise become inaccessible during an accident, of course.

    The owner’s manual section on “how to open the door if there’s no power” spans 4 pages (viewed on mobile) and has 3 diagrams to illustrate the steps.

    (incidentally, opening the frunk with no power is a separate page with ten steps and begins, “To open the powered frunk when Cybertruck has no power, you need a power source that provides between 9V and 16.5V”… it’s like they’re trying to be shit.)

    That’s like, your opinion, man. It’s not a universally agreed-on rule.

    New York Times Manual of Style and Usage (1999):

    decades should usually be given in numerals: the 1990’s; the mid-1970’s; the 90’s. But when a decade begins a sentence it must be spelled out.

    The Chicago Manual of Style (2003):

    9.37 Decades. Decades are either spelled out (as long as the century is clear) and lowercased or expressed in numerals. No apostrophe appears between the year and the s.

    Same goes for initialisms, e.g. CDs vs CD’s.

    EDIT: to be clear, I prefer no apostrophe too, I just didn’t like the unnecessary condescension. One thing worse than a grammar nazi is a wrong grammar nazi.
